I'm proud of my friends. If I like you, I admire you, too, and I feel privileged to be associated with you. I even go around advertising my friends to my other friends. And even if there are things about my friends that aren't good, there are still things about them that I love. I just thought you should all hear that.

I'm doing well this week. I can't say the same for everyone I know, but I think this week I've been given an extra dose of calmness and detachedness so I can deal with their difficulties. This is not translating into productivity, however. I still sit around pondering everything except my homework. It's too bad my homework requires thinking. I guess I'll go do some of it now. It's funny how I equate productivity with homework, though.
